Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

On his forehead, large drops of sweat kept sliding down. The pallor of his cheeks was wet with sweat, sticking strands of white hair to his face. Shi Wujue looked at the two people trapped in illusions, unmoving, and his eyes grew increasingly anxious...

”Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, wake up...”

No more!

In this shattered body of his, each use of his power further hastened the steps towards death, squandering whatever time he had left as the cost.

He couldn’t hold on much longer...

But he could not just watch Gu Changsheng die here...

Absolutely not...

”Gu Changsheng...”

Calling out, Shi Wujue no longer hoped that someone as powerful as Gu Changsheng could pull herself from the No Return Path...

If she couldn’t save herself, then all he could do was forcibly drag her out...

His foot across the stone wall barrier slowly stepped forward...

”Hall Master! You mustn’t!”

An anxious voice resounded in Shi Wujue’s ear!

Shi Wujue knew it was Duo Shu’s voice; he was still stationed behind the stone wall barrier, waiting for him to come out, and was calling out in such a panic just to stop him from stepping onto the No Return Path...

”Gu Changsheng...”

Stepping onto the No Return Path, yet walking backwards...

With each step Shi Wujue took, his whole body trembled, as if crushed by countless forces, his entire being warped like a ripple in a vortex...

But beneath the white silk, his elongated eyes stubbornly focused on that crimson figure not far in front of him...

”Gu Changsheng...”

Clearly just a few meters away, yet walking towards it felt as though countless mountains and rivers lay between...

As if an eternity of time spanned across...

Droplets of sweat continuously fell from Shi Wujue’s twisted form, soaking his clothes in an instant...

Every step forward seemingly used up all his strength...

Even when eyes were covered by the Moon-Enveloping Gauze that sealed the moonlight, Shi Wujue could still feel the faint trace of the Gods’ power within the memories sealed on this No Return Path around him...

The sound of blades clashing seemed to echo right next to his ears...

The power capable of shifting mountains and overturning seas, the Divine Power that could change worlds in an instant, was enough to crush those on this path of no return into dust in an instant...

And on the No Return Path, Shi Wujue carried all these...

”But, just some patchy memories, wanting to defeat me, Shi Wujue? Impossible! I will save her, even God cannot stop me... Even across the Ancient Wilderness, through desolation, spanning countless years, I will press on unfalteringly...”

”Gu Changsheng, don’t look back, wait for me...”

While lifting a foot again with difficulty, he reached out a hand, and beneath the white silk, a trace of blood slowly seeped from the corner of Shi Wujue’s eye. Yet, he stubbornly extended his hand, moving laboriously towards the direction where Gu Changsheng stood...

For her...

Even if whom she loved was never himself...

Even if on this No Return Path, countless mortal-visible memories interspersed, he would resolutely tread through for her...

”Gu Changsheng, give me your hand...”

”I’ll come and take you away from here...”

”...”

Watching as the distance between them shortened, Shi Wujue’s face, with the white silk soaked in blood, yet he would not relent in stretching out his hand, continually reaching forward...

Gu Changsheng, let go of Zhou Mu’s hand, and let me take you away from here...

Gu Changsheng...

On the outstretched arm, beads of sweat glisten...

Sweat soaked the black brocade, and on the neck under the white hair was distinctly visible a black thread slowly probing from his arm, winding and extending towards Shi Wujue’s neck...

The persistently outstretched hand finally touched Gu Changsheng’s clothes, and a trace of relief appeared on Shi Wujue’s face, known for its world-shocking looks. The corner of his mouth slightly curled. He pressed the black thread stretching from his neck with the other hand and muttered, ”Gu Changsheng, even if it exhausts my remaining life, this hall will save you, and you shall leave...”

No one understood better than Shi Wujue what the extension of the lifeline on his arm signified...

But, in this lifetime, he would not stand idly by watching Gu Changsheng die in front of him...

All those words spoken to Duo Shu’s subordinates about the chosen one with the aspiration of the bright moon were just Shi Wujue’s grand excuse for his humble love...

If the Sun and Moon Rotation ceased, what would it matter?

What concern is The Gods’ Futu, to him?

What he sought, from beginning to end, was only this woman who captivated his life at first sight...

”Changsheng... This hall will take you away...”

Every word seemed to use up all his strength, knowing full well that Gu Changsheng, trapped in illusions, could not hear him...

Gripping Gu Changsheng’s arm, he used all his strength to pull forward, bringing Gu Changsheng, bound by the Heart Demon, into his embrace...

Feeling the warmth from his chest, Shi Wujue’s blood-streaked face involuntarily showed a trace of a relieved smile, yet in the next moment, Shi Wujue’s expression froze as he focused on Gu Changsheng’s other hand...

There it was, a slender and jade-like hand, the fingers tightly intertwined with another person’s fingers...

Shi Wujue’s gaze slowly traveled up along those fingers, seeing Zhou Mu standing there with a face of painful struggle, clearly still deep in the illusion and unable to extricate himself...

Shi Wujue’s world-renowned face darkened, and he slowly removed the hand pressing on his lifeline, moving it slowly towards the clasped hands of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu...

All he needed to do was wave lightly, turn around, and leave...

Zhou Mu...

Would remain on this No Return Path, embedded with memories of the war against the Gods’ decline...
